New Champions

[edit]

New Champion: Corki Corki

[edit]
Don’t be fooled by appearances because Corki is much more than just a magnificent mustache. Enamored with all things aircraft, the Daring Bombardier often ventures beyond Bandle City in pursuit of aerospace innovation found only in the inventive city of Piltover. He keeps a watchful eye on the sky for enemy bogies as the head of the Screaming Yipsnakes.
Riot (Patch 2.0)

New Champion: Kennen Kennen

[edit]
In the space between a lightning flash and a thunderboom, one yordle stands as the most senior member of the Kinkou Order. Dedicated to preserving the sacred balance that surges through Ionia, Kennen uses his centuries of knowledge to protect the world he’s come to love. But as the Heart of the Tempest, he also possesses the devastating power of the storm—and he’s not afraid to use it.
Riot (Patch 2.0)

New Champion: Tristana Tristana

[edit]
The inhabitants of Bandle City are curious by nature, but few are lured by the promise of adventure in Runeterra quite like Tristana. Inspired by tales of epic battles and brave fighters, Tristana knew she was destined for a life of explosive action (often literally). With plenty of firepower in tow thanks to her trusty cannon Boomer, the Yordle Gunner seeks to become the stuff of legends.
Riot (Patch 2.0)

New Champion: Lulu Lulu

[edit]
Reality is what you make of it—or at least what Lulu makes of it! The Fae Sorceress shapes the world to her whim as she travels Runeterra with her fairy friend, Pix. Through her magic, Lulu enchants and fantastifies everything around her, sometimes with disastrous, if well-meaning, consequences.
Riot (Patch 2.0)

New Champion: Teemo Teemo

[edit]
Never underestimate the power of the Scout’s code! Any who make that mistake (and many who don’t) must contend with Teemo, one of Bandle City’s most formidable protectors. Though small in stature, the Swift Scout does not shrink in the face of big danger. Instead, he travels the world with boundless optimism and courage, seeking to earn every merit badge (and causing a little bit of mayhem on the way).

Season 1

[edit]
The first official ranked season of Wild Rift starts 8 January 2021! Which also means Season 0 ends soon. Players who participated in Season 0 will receive ranked rewards after the season ends (a participation icon for everyone and a player emblem for those who hit Gold and above). There will be a soft rank reset for Season 1, and Ranked mode will be unavailable for 3-4 hours while we transition between seasons. We also have our first Glorious skin, Glorious Tryndamere, up for grabs for those who make it to Gold as well. They never stood a chance!

Events

[edit]
We’ve added a whole bunch of stuff to League of Legends: Wild Rift, but it still feels like something is missing. Or someone? Perhaps this little someone (or someones) has been 'missing' on purpose, hiding in plain sight beneath homespun glamours or tucked away in a secret city.


But these someones, with their unfailing curiosity, can no longer resist Wild Rift's call of adventure. Now they’re sprouting up like mushrooms across Runeterra's greatest cities, bringing with them playful energy (and trouble) that can be electric, explosive, and even...purple?

Join us as we search high and low, leaving no Krug unturned in our quest to find Wild Rift's latest champions. Pack your bag, polish your boots, and prepare your map for the great Yordle Expedition!
Riot (Patch 2.0)

Other Notes

[edit]
  • We’ve continued (and WILL continue) to tune the matchmaking system for better game quality and ranked experience.
  • The Leaderboard now updates every 10-15 minutes rather than every 24 hours.
  • We’ve made a few improvements to chat including better visual presentation for premade voice chat, improved Friends list filters, and some UX changes for social interactions.
